'''TOPIC''': "Conducting Application Assessment"<BR>
 
'''SPEAKER''': Jeremy Epstein, SRI<BR>
 
'''DESCRIPTION''':
 
<P>After the 2000 election, many states launched headlong into electronic
 
voting systems to avoid the problems with "hanging chads".  Once
 
problems with those systems started appearing, many localities started
 
moving to optical scan, which was used by a majority of US voters in
 
the 2008 election.  There are other technologies in use around the
 
country, including lever machines, vote-by-mail, vote-by-phone, and
 
Internet voting.  What are the tradeoffs among these technologies?
 
Particularly relevant to OWASP, what are the security issues
 
associated with different types of equipment, and what measures do
 
vendors of voting equipment use to try to address the security
 
problems?  Are software security problems important, or can
 
non-technical measures protect against them?  In this talk, we'll
 
discuss a wide variety of voting technologies, and their pros and cons
 
from both a technical and societal perspective.</p>
 
 
'''ABOUT THE SPEAKER''':
 
<p>Jeremy Epstein is Senior Computer Scientist at SRI International.  His
 
background includes more than 20 years experience in computer security
 
research, product development, and consulting.  Prior to joining SRI
 
International, he was Principal Consultant with Cigital, and before
 
that spent nine years as Senior Director of Product Security at
 
Software AG, an international business software company. Within the area
 
of voting systems, Jeremy has been involved for over
 
five years in voting technology and advocacy, both as an employee and
 
as an independent consultant.</p><BR><BR>

About

Owasp-nova.JPG
The OWASP Washington VA Local Chapter meetings are FREE and OPEN to anyone interested in learning more about application security. We encourage individuals to provide knowledge transfer via hands-on training and presentations of specific OWASP projects and research topics and sharing SDLC knowledge.

We the encourage vendor-agnostic presentations to utilize the OWASP Powerpoint template when applicable and individual volunteerism to enable perpetual growth. As a 501(3)c non-profit association donations of meeting space or refreshments sponsorship is encouraged, simply contact the local chapter leaders listed on this page to discuss. Prior to participating with OWASP please review the Chapter Rules.

The chapter is committed to providing an engaging experience for a variety of audience types ranging from local students and those beginning in app-sec, to those experienced and accomplished professionals who are looking for competent collaborators for OWASP-related projects. To this end, we will continue to conduct both monthly chapter meetings as well as out-of-band curricula, on application security topics.


OWASP Virginia

Welcome to the Virginia chapter homepage. The chapter leader is John Steven

Program Committee

The OWASP NoVA Chapter Program Committee aims to:

Actively shepherd speakers and and speaking process within the NoVA chapter in order to assure that chapter meetings provide maximum practical benefit to our constituency.

Benefit the broader OWASP community by creating and supporting a 'preferred speaker' list through explicitly gauging, documenting, and sharing speaker quality data gained through feedback from chapter participants.

In pursuit of this charter, we will elect as many as five program committee members that will, over the course of 2010:

  • Create easy-to-apply vetting criteria from existing OWASP chapter guidance and ethics rules.
  • Assure one program committee personnel applies vetting criteria to each-and-every proposed chapter speaker/material
  • Design, document, and implement a chapter participant "speaker survey" / voting mechanism
  • Implement a "speaker survey" results display on the OWASP Wiki for the broader OWASP community to consume
  • Coordinate with other chapters to set up a 'preferred speaker' list that aggregates data about high-scoring speakers (for the OWASP on-the-move project)

We will be announcing program committee membership shortly.


Participation

OWASP Foundation (Overview Slides) is a professional association of global members and is open to anyone interested in learning more about software security. Local chapters are run independently and guided by the Chapter_Leader_Handbook. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit professional association your support and sponsorship of any meeting venue and/or refreshments is tax-deductible. Financial contributions should only be made online using the authorized online chapter donation button. To be a SPEAKER at ANY OWASP Chapter in the world simply review the speaker agreement and then contact the local chapter leader with details of what OWASP PROJECT, independent research or related software security topic you would like to present on.

History

The original DC Chapter was founded in June 2004 by Jeff Williams and has had members from Virginia to Delaware. In April 2005 a new chapter, OWASP Washington VA Local Chapter, was formed and the DC Chapter was renamed to DC-Maryland. The two are sister chapters and include common members and shared discourse. The chapters meet in opposite halves of the month to facilitate this relationship.

July 9th 6pm-9pm EST
LOCATION: 13200 Woodland Park Road Herndon, VA 20171
TOPIC: "Ounce's 02"
SPEAKER(S): Dinis Cruz, OWASP, Ounce Labs.
PANEL: TBD
INSTRUCTIONS: RSVP through Stan Wisseman [email protected] with “OWASP RSVP” in the subject.

DESCRIPTION: So what is O2?

Well in my mind O2 is a combination of advanced tools (Technology) which are designed to be used on a particular way (Process) by knowledgeable Individuals (People)

Think about it as a Fighter Jet who is able to go very fast, has tons of controls, needs to be piloted by somebody who knows what they are doing and needs to have a purpose (i.e. mission).

Basically what I did with O2 was to automate the workflow that I have when I'm engaged on a source-code security review.

Now, here is the catch, this version is NOT for the faint-of-heart. I designed this to suit my needs, which although are the same as most other security consultants, have its own particularities :)

The whole model of O2 development is based around the concept of automating a security consultant’s brain, so I basically ensure that the main O2 Developer (Dinis Cruz) has a very good understanding of the feature requirements of the targeted Security Consultant (Dinis Cruz) :) . And this proved (even to my surprise) spectacularly productive, since suddenly I (i.e. the security consultant) didn't had to wait months for new features to be added to its toolkit. If there was something that needed to be added, it would just be added in days or hours.

Knowledge

The Northern Virginia (NoVA) chapter is committed to compiling resources on interesting and valuable topic areas. We hope that this structure helps you access information pertinent to your tasks at hand as you move through a secure application development life cycle. Currently, our topic areas of focus include activities such as:
